Other post deleted as I messed with the headline. While I get that the docs were trying their best in some opinions I don’t think that explains it in this case….does this mean the docs in Crumlin were trying less than their best as their hip surgeries seem fine??
These are not scoliosis kids, these are perfectly healthy kids who it seems might not have needed any surgery at all.
You can read the actual news about it on the ditch without the included apologia and excuses from Fine Gaelers or the shoe horning in of a quote from Paul Murphy at the end to indicate its much ado about nothing.
My oldest got one of the surgeries that was reviewed. We got a letter to inform us that the review was happening. So far, we haven’t heard anything apart from what’s been in the news.
What I can say from our experience is that it didn’t feel unnecessary at the time. My son was attending Temple Street and they used a very much “hands off” approach, which meant leaving his hips to develop and see if the issue resolved by itself. His x-rays looked like what can be seen on Google imaged for shallow hip sockets and there are medical articles that say that the recommendation is an osteotomy, which he had. It’s tough to know how to feel about all of this.
I don’t understand these findings. Are they saying that the hospitals applied slightly different rules as to who qualifies, or that there was something more sinister, as in some were performed completely unnecessarily by conspiring surgeons?
